A fight, A fight, with a…

I’m pretty particular with what I like in product design (simple and clean) However, when it comes to being entertained, I’m all over the place. If it involves a friend of mine, it really doesn’t matter what or where, as long as I’m there to show support. Case in point this past weekend, my buddy, Andy (MTV Nitro Circus, Ogio ) was doing this charity fight with Jason Ellis (ex-pro skater, radio host, all-around talker and MMA fighter) at the Hard Rock in Vegas. I did one of those 12 hours gigs from LA and said what up. Check Andy before the fight.

The place was kind of like a circus of people, literally. I’m not one to judge, but you could pretty much define the heads up in there. I’ll give you a hint, on one side of the room (flat brim black hats, big black skate shoes, tube socks, tats, etc). The others, just a bunch of crazy fans there to have a good ole time.

More craziness - Shubin and Cody doing things I have no idea on.

Malcom (Ethika /FMF ) and his lady were also there to give support

After seven other fights that involved some weird things such as blind boxing, girl-on-girl, girl-on-boy action, the main event is about to start. In this corner, the one and only Mr. Bell!

Ding, ding - let’s do this.

As my man Ice Cube would say - Right, left, right, left, you’re toothless! Now they say goddamn they ruthless.

Three rounds later and two hella tired fighters, the judges give it to Ellis (hmm, I guess it helps when Ellis actually puts on the event himself) Damn, you look tired, what a workout son.

Either way, we’re proud of Bell to take one for the team. (Note, Andy has a broken hand, torn PCL before the fight and still made shit happen) Congrats man.
